In my opinion"If I were THE KING", I'd banish all forms of short trading because of what it is & what it does to a company or business that is trying to prosper & grow, so as to become a positive participant, supplier, provider & producer of goods, services, & employment in our world. For what people are doing, out of an inordinate greed & lust for the sake of acquiring money, when they short a stock, is to actually hope and long for a business or company to not do well, or even to fail, the which, if it happens, is even better for the shorter, because then, in such an event, they make money all the way down. Generally speaking, people don't start up a business with the intent & desire for it to end up failing. Just like most couples don't go into a marriage contract intending or hoping for it to fail! Now, there are failures, and they do happen, but to WANT them to happen, or to need them to happen, is typically contrary for what the AMERICAN PEOPLE, taken as a whole, long for & want. For in AMERICA, we love success, and we love & admire a winner! Just like GEORGE C. SCOTT said in his movie called: "PATTON". And we even accept the reality & sadness of a failure, or of a loser, but we don't like it. And as a people, generally speaking, we don't usually do those kinds of things to encourage the failure of others. But if a person or group of persons becomes over taken by that wrong kind of spirit, simply for the sake of "making or accumulating money out of a spirit of greed and avarice, then they SHOULD BE STOPPED! And if that is happening to SKGO, THEN I PERSONALLY HOPE THAT THEY FIND OUT WHO IT IS, AND ARE ABLE TO STOP THEM, AND BUT GOOD, TOO! No need for the "pundits" to take up the case, so as to become the devil's advocate, for there's more good & decent people, who are invested in this company, and want it to succeed, which is the right attitude to have, than any of you shorters out there, whoever you may be, that really long for the price and value of our stock to go down. But therein lies the dichotomy, also, when you really think about it. But I don't care, even though MICHAEL PARNESS, who wrote a good trading book, called: "HOW TO RULE THE FREAKIN' MARKET", and who is a very successful trader, and who strongly believes in and utilizes the legal kind of shorting, there is SOMETHING just intrinsically & inherently "bad" about it. But I say, PUT YOUR MONEY IN, hoping that a company is going to do well, prosper, and grow. But if it isn't, or doesn't, then take it out just as soon as you can! But don't put some money into a company just hoping for it to not do well, and just hoping & longing for the price & value of its shares to go down, JUST SO YOU CAN MAKE SOME MONEY, NOT CARING A WHIT ABOUT WHO IS HURT, OR EVEN CRUSHED BY THE DEMISE OF SUCH A COMPANY. NO!: PLEASE, IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, PLEASE DON'T BE A PART OF THAT KIND OF A NEGATIVE, BAD SPIRIT, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU MAY NEED, OR WANT, OR ARE TEMPTED TO MAKE SOME MONEY, IN THAT KIND OF WAY! So, in my opinion, the SEC COMMISSION should have had a 5 to 0 vote against, instead of only a 3 to 2, and they haven't gone anywhere near far enough in eliminating this bane from AMERICA. Just like when the rich, greedy & powerful monied interests did changed & or did away with the usury laws: Do you really think that the vast majority of AMERICANS were blessed by such changes? NOPE! ONLY THE POWERFUL RICH AND GREEDY ONES WERE AND ARE STILL , EVEN NOW! IMHO GO SKGO!!!
